Apple Computer: Gaining The World And Losing Its Soul: "So while Microsoft appears to be shooting itself in the foot with its trustworthy computing pronouncements, I get the growing impression that the Mac has, on the eve of its 20th birthday, come of age. It's a strange feeling, to be sure. Years of being thought of as someone strange because of my choice of personal computers." (Mac Night Owl via MyAppleMenu) [MyAppleMenu]

Naxos: Apple overcharging for iTunes albums: "Apple's iTunes Music Store is currently overcharging customers for albums from Naxos, a leading classical music label, the company said today. According to Naxos, the correct pricing for their albums in the ITMS should be $6, not the standard $10 per album fee currently being charged. Naxos says "We are taking this issue very seriously and are making it a priority, contacting Apple about it almost everyday. Indeed, our president has contacted someone in Steve Jobs' office several times in an attempt to remedy the situation." Typically, a Naxos CD sells for between one third and one quarter of the price of a full-price classical album." [The Macintosh News Network]
